Democrats who led probes into Trump's role in Jan. 6 Capitol riot expect to face arrest if he wins: "Anybody who has testified against him...should be worried."
I mean, he said he would. He’s also become a better asshole since the last attempt, and now he said on day one he’s gonna fire everyone who’s loyal to the united states and replace them with people who are loyal to him personally. That’s how you put yourself in a position where the military actually listens to you when you tell them to “just shoot” peaceful protestors.
The military is not going to do any of that. The US Joint Chiefs have made it clear on multiple occasions that they take their oath of office to uphold the US Constitution very seriously, including at least 2 times in direct opposition to Trump’s bullshit.
They basically are the unofficial 4th branch of the US government, and their checks and balances are effective against fascists.

Genuinely asking because I can’t seem to find it online - who decides who the joint chiefs are?
